HK taxi: do you round up or round down the 0.5?
What is the protocol? I was in a cab earlier from TST to Jordan and the fare came to 21.5. I had 21 exactly. I also had two 500 notes for the punt. I gave the taxi driver 21 but he insisted on getting the extra 0.5. I tried in vain to request he let me off but he was not having it. I gave him 500. He gave me back 478 change therefore rounding up the fare to 22. I normally would just leave but told him I wanted the 0.5 he still owed me. He pretended not to have it but I insisted! He amazingly found a 0.5 coin and sadly gave it to me! Quite a comical moment!

If your fare came to 210.50, then he may let you off. Otherwise forget it. |
